In a recent legal turn of events, Autel has successfully contested a $6.6 million jury verdict, asserting they do not infringe a patent held by Orange Electronic Co. Ltd. The patent in question regards tire pressure monitoring technology. Autel, an automotive diagnostic and service tool solution provider, achieved this recent victory through a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law in a Texas court.
This judgment effectively nullifies the substantial jury verdict from June, which initially found Autel guilty of patent infringement. Autel has consistently maintained that their application of tire pressure monitoring systems does not violate any patents held by Orange Electronic, a company based in Taiwan specializing in tire pressure monitoring systems and solutions.
